Tomorrow is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Arrrrrrrrrrr! I'm am going to soooo annoying at work if the scurvy dogs here don't like my swashbuckling linguistics! Yes, I'm getting ahead of myself, but it's too much fun and with the splash Pirates of the Caribbean made this year, the buccaneers should be out in full force. Shiver me timbers, this should be a national holiday. An international holiday! I can see greeting cards being sent, gifts bought for friends and family to loot and plunder, and people everywhere decked out in pirate costumes. Oh yeah!
Of course it would all be ruined for me if Texas decides to execute its prisoners by walking the plank instead of injecting them with poison, but that's really a pointless non sequitor that completely came from nowhere, other than my not caring much for Texas or its high prisoner death toll.
Arrrrrrr! But that's not in the fun spirit of International Talk Like a Pirate Day! We need parades with floats decked out like pirate galleons with cannons that shoot confetti and streamers at the people on the sidewalks! And frankly I wouldn't be too upset if Canada changed from the dollar to the dubloon. Arrrr...
